Gulf Cove is a river front community centrally located on Route 776 between Port Charlotte and Englewood. Built on the banks of the Myakka River, Gulf Cove residents enjoy easy saltwater access. Many homes in this area are built on saltwater canals and offer boat ramps, and prices range from $200,000 and upwards in the millions, depending on the age of the home, size and of course, proximity to the water.
Some Gulf Cove homes have a direct view of the Myakka River, which is good news for boating enthusiasts. A quick navigation through the canals and to the Myakka River will take you to the El Jobean bridge, which offers direct access to Charlotte Harbor and the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Unlike many other areas on the Myakka, only the El Jobean bridge is tall enough to accommodate the very largest of boats.
Most of the homes in Gulf Cove are relatively new, with new housing starts coming up all the time. For those who prefer it, the community also has a boat ramp in the area if you prefer to trailer your boat or vessel to the water. Gulf Cove residents enjoy living in their community because a relaxing evening of fishing or crabbing, or simply watching the sun set over the river, is quite literally right in their own back yards. Gulf Cove residents can also keep their eyes open for dolphin, manatee and tropical bird sightings! Boaters will also enjoy the close proximity to a number of fabulous boating destinations nearby, such as the Gasparilla barrier islands, Pine Island, Sanibel Island, Cayo Costa and many more for you to explore! Sports fishermen also love to fish on the Gulf of Mexico, and Gulf Cove’s convenient location brings the Gulf right to you!
Gulf Cove is a unique area because of its close location to both Port Charlotte and Englewood. A quick ten-minute drive will take you into Port Charlotte where you can enjoy shopping, fine dining, golfing and entertainment at a number of places including the Port Charlotte mall and movie theater. Schools, grocery stores, hospitals, houses of worship and more are also close by in both Englewood and Port Charlotte, and airports are also a short drive away in nearby Fort Myers and Tampa. But if it is fun in the sun you are looking for, look no further than nearby Englewood! With Englewood Beach on Manasota Key also only a short drive away, swimming and fun in the sun is right at your fingertips! For all of these reasons and more, Gulf Cove is the perfect location for families, winter residents and retiree’s alike.
